What You'll Do
Map customer commercial needs into tailored legal workflows and lead platform onboarding.
Review and validate AI-flagged legal issues across client documents and filings.

Build and refine legal workflows using AI tools, MCP servers, and command-line tools.

At least 2 years of combined experience in legal practice, legal technology, law firm innovation, or an in-house legal function. Relevant experience typically ranges from 2 to 8 years.
A legal background, such as a JD, 1 to 2 years of legal practice, or experience at a legal technology company.
Hands-on experience building with AI tools, including AI coding assistants, MCP servers, command-line tools, or code-generation workflows. A computer science degree is not required.
Experience translating legal needs into automated workflows, prompts, or product requirements, and the ability to spot contract issues and assess AI-generated legal work.
A resourceful, fast-moving approach, ideally with experience in an early-stage startup or software customer onboarding and implementation.
